ALL FEARED WITCHES —— WELSH PEOPLE ONCE HAD IMPLICIT FAITH IN POWERS. Many Stories of Malevolent Deeds Have Been Handed Down Through Generations —Practiced Their Arts on Dumb Animals. M. L. Lewes. In the Occult Review, tells some stories about witches. I must apologize to my psychic readers for repeating them, as no doubt most of them take that admirable monthly, a writer in T. P's weekly says. In olden days Welsh witches used to "put spells" on the animals of neighbors ! who annoyed them. If a cow was the ■ victim it would sicken of no apparent disease, cease to give milk. and. if the spell were not removed, would die. The effect of "witching" a pig was to cause a curious kind of madness, something like ant; this again ended fatally unless a counter charm was forthcoming. Quite recently 1 saw one of these "charms" quoted in a local paper by a collector of folklore. "An old witch living not far from I Llangalock (in Carmarthenshire . . ■ i on one occasion when she bad witched * pig, was compelled subsequently to unwitch the animal. She came and put her hand on the pig's back, say in 'Duwa'th gadwo i'th bercbenog' (God keep thee to thine owner).” Which seems a mild way of calming a frenzied pig. "A noted witch.” says Mr. Lewis. I 'used to live about a mile and a half from my own home She was known is Mary Per Han Peter,' from the name of her house, Perllan Peter, deep down in a thickly wooded ravine, or dingle, as we call It tn Cardiganshire. This way of designating indl- ; viduals is common in our part of Wales, where surnames, among the peasantry are chiefly limited to Jones, Davies and Evans. So that a person's Christian name, followed by that of I oia bouse. Is far more distinctive than ising a surname most probably comj non to half the people in a parish. So j the witch was ‘Mary of Peter's Orchard' Cperilan' meaning orchard. :hough who 'Peter' was I could never Und out, and she was undoubtedly a jower.'ul one). "One day she askel a neighbor to { jring her some corn which she re- i juired. and the man very unwillingly | xmrented. as the path down to the ,'ottage was very steep and the corn j tieavy to carry. On the way he spilt I some and Mary was very angry and Buttered threats to her friend when le left. And when he got back to bis I lome and went to the table, what was ' nls amarement to see his little mare sitting like a pig" on her haunches ind staring wildly before her. He went to her. and pulling at the halter, ried to get her on her feet, but in ! >aln: she did not seem tc be able to j -nove. Then the man, very frightened, tiethought him of the witch's threats, 'or he felt sure the mare was spellaound. So he sent off. and when she irrlved she went straight up to the inimal and 'Moran tech, what alls hee now?' was all she said, and the mare jumped to her feet as well and lively as ever." Stealing. Stealing Is a wholly silly business , it the best; but to steal In the post- ' office. In a bank, or In any other organized institution, is absolutely Idio- : :ic. There is no surer road to state irtson than to steal from an organ ‘ zed business; and the larger the bus ness is the more complicated the busness is, the smaller the possibility hat the thief can avoid that final deI ection. The thief burrows around in _jis little corner very much as mice nake ways for themselves under the ( loom of a storehouse or a dwelling Both the thief and the mouse have t all to themselves for a white, and he thief at least thinks that nobody : knows. But to think such a thing ! mly shows that he is a fool. His op- ■ -rations necessarily touch other peo- ■ pie, for otherwise he would find nothng to steal. They complain; the trap 1 a set for him: and merely by conI inning to steal be walks Into it and | is caught. Just as tbe mouse is when its secret passageway finally opens nto the room It seeks to enter. The man who steals once may escape, but tbe man who makes a business of tteallng is aa. certain to be caught as be Is to live. He has to quit stealing w to die In order to avoid being caught It la a dead sure thing — Hartford Courant. Fastest Travel aa Record. Tbe researches made by physicists of all centuries have proved that the bertzlan waves move with the same •peed as light, that is to say. at about 186.000 miles a second. Three French scholars, Mr Abraham. professor at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers: Major Ferrle and Mr Dufour, have, under the ausplcoe of tbe bureau of longitudes, just determined tbe speed of propagation of tbe bertzlan waves between Parts and Toulon Part of the result has been calculated, and tbe speed found Is 295.900 kilometers to tbe second, with * difference of less than one per cent for each determination, in comparison to ths average. They Intend to measure this speed between the Eiffel tower and tbe station of wireloss telegraphy at Washington. white the longitude of the capital of the United States Is being determined. Mesare. Abraham, Dufour and Ferrle propone to continue their experiments aud to study tbe speed of tbe propagation of hertslan waves between two points eeoerated by the sea.
